The Family Transition Place has received a generous fo$40,000 donation from the Galt Family Foundation.
The funds will allow the agency to support hundreds of women and their children, with access to shelter and counseling services.
“If nothing else, the pandemic has shown us that we need to be prepared for any obstacle,” remarks FTP’s Executive Director, Norah Kennedy.
“This substantial donation from the Galt Family Foundation will help us maintain a high level of service and keep the women and children we serve, safe. These funds will also support our critical programs and services, which—we are proud to say— have continued—uninterrupted—over the last two years. We owe a lot of that success to tremendous community partners like the Galt Family Foundation. We are tremendously grateful.”
John Galt, President of the Galt Family Foundation, says the work done at the Family Transition Place has never been more important and is pleased to be able to play a small part in helping those in need.
When asked why this contribution in support of FTP’s work was so important to him and his family, Mr. Galt replied,
“The Galt Family Foundation invests in the communities we live in, with a special emphasis on supporting those who are vulnerable in our society. The last year has placed tremendous burdens on those at risk, affecting both their mental and physical well-being. Family Transition Place has never been more important and we are pleased to be able to play a small part in helping those in need.”
Last February, the Galt Family Foundation made a $35,000 donation to Family Transition Place.
The Family Transition Place have provided safety, support and services to those in need in our community since 1984.
